Note: It is important that researchers verify all information in these cemetery transcriptions.

Our thanks to Marjorie Smith for contributing this information to the Jo Daviess website.

This cemetery is located in the center of Section 3 off Route 78 and north of Groezinger Road. This is a very small, family cemetery, but well maintained. From Stockton, head south on Rt. 78 for 5.8 miles. The cemetery will be on the right side, just past a farm (address 6460) and before crossing the Plum River. The entry is not marked - just a mowed pathway between two cornfields.

HerringtonEveline, d/o S & AM
(Note: Melvin Allen reports that Eveline was the dau. of Stephen and Anna Maria Herrington.) Stephen Herrington died in Mississippi during the Civil War, and Anna Maria remarried a neighbor boy after the war; Henry Harpster who is buried in Yankee Hollow Cemetery. He is the Harpster, Henry K. Co F 92nd Ill. Vol. Inf. listed in your records. Henry Harpster died about one year after they were married, and Anna Maria became a widow again. Henry was captured and spent a lot of time in Andersonville, and was a broken man when he returned from the war. Anna eventually remarried a third time to Frederick Smith, and died in 1874 and is the Anna M. Smith listed in this cemetery. I am her great grandson.
